Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 256. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 43. So, we're going to take the number 256 and add it to itself 43 times.
Step 1: 0 + 256 = 256
Step 2: 256 + 256 = 512
Step 3: 512 + 256 = 768
Step 4: 768 + 256 = 1024
Step 5: 1024 + 256 = 1280
Step 6: 1280 + 256 = 1536
Step 7: 1536 + 256 = 1792
Step 8: 1792 + 256 = 2048
Step 9: 2048 + 256 = 2304
Step 10: 2304 + 256 = 2560
Step 11: 2560 + 256 = 2816
Step 12: 2816 + 256 = 3072
Step 13: 3072 + 256 = 3328
Step 14: 3328 + 256 = 3584
Step 15: 3584 + 256 = 3840
Step 16: 3840 + 256 = 4096
Step 17: 4096 + 256 = 4352
Step 18: 4352 + 256 = 4608
Step 19: 4608 + 256 = 4864
Step 20: 4864 + 256 = 5120
Step 21: 5120 + 256 = 5376
Step 22: 5376 + 256 = 5632
Step 23: 5632 + 256 = 5888
Step 24: 5888 + 256 = 6144
Step 25: 6144 + 256 = 6400
Step 26: 6400 + 256 = 6656
Step 27: 6656 + 256 = 6912
Step 28: 6912 + 256 = 7168
Step 29: 7168 + 256 = 7424
Step 30: 7424 + 256 = 7680
Step 31: 7680 + 256 = 7936
Step 32: 7936 + 256 = 8192
Step 33: 8192 + 256 = 8448
Step 34: 8448 + 256 = 8704
Step 35: 8704 + 256 = 8960
Step 36: 8960 + 256 = 9216
Step 37: 9216 + 256 = 9472
Step 38: 9472 + 256 = 9728
Step 39: 9728 + 256 = 9984
Step 40: 9984 + 256 = 10240
Step 41: 10240 + 256 = 10496
Step 42: 10496 + 256 = 10752
Step 43: 10752 + 256 = 11008

So, 256*43 = 11008
